Summary
Unique Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) occurrence downloads have been added to the original publication. This correction ensures proper citation and data accessibility for biodiversity research.
Area of Science:
- Biodiversity Informatics
- Data Science
- Scientific Publishing
Background:
- Original publication lacked unique Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) occurrence downloads.
- This omission hindered precise citation and traceability of biodiversity data.
- Ensuring data integrity is crucial in ecological and biodiversity research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct a citation error in the original publication.
- To insert unique DOIs for GBIF occurrence downloads.
- To enhance the discoverability and reproducibility of biodiversity data.
Main Methods:
- Identification of the omission in the original publication.
- Sourcing and verification of unique DOIs for relevant GBIF occurrence downloads.
- Updating the PDF and HTML versions of the article to include these DOIs as references.
Main Results:
- Unique DOIs for GBIF occurrence downloads have been successfully inserted.
- References 70-76 now correctly cite these unique DOIs.
- The PDF and HTML versions of the article have been amended to reflect this correction.
Conclusions:
- The publication's data citation practices have been improved.
- Enhanced reproducibility of biodiversity data accessed via GBIF is now possible.
- This correction upholds scientific standards in data sharing and citation.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.3K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

01:15Distance Corrections
282
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

01:50Global Climate Change
28.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

01:20Power Factor Correction
528
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

01:14NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction
1.1K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...
